We just keep working on this live show and it’s going to be even better next year. I can’t wait, it’s going to be fucking unbelievable.”
He continued: “It’s not that we necessarily have anything production-wise in mind, it’s more about putting on an event – a show that gets burned into people’s minds for the rest of their lives. It doesn’t have anything to with an aesthetic or a light show, it’s more a feeling, a fucking vibe that you go to something that burns into your soul. ‘That night when we were there together’, and a band at full throttle like a juggernaut.”
“Tune after tune after tune – relentless energy and bringing London to its knees. You go away thinking, ‘That is a gig that I’ll remember until my dying day’,” he added.
